Accordingly, the majority of National Assembly deputies agreed on the authority to ratify and the procedures for proposing the ratification of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland's accession document to the CPTPP Agreement as an integral part of the CPTPP Agreement, with the content of amending and supplementing the CPTPP Agreement under the National Assembly's authority to ratify.
Agreeing on the need for ratification, when the National Assembly ratified the Document at the 7th session, 15th tenure, National Assembly delegates unanimously agreed that the UK had committed to opening its market to Vietnam at a higher level than other countries in the CPTPP, higher than the commitment of the UK-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA) in a number of important contents for Vietnam.
Under the CPTPP, the UK will recognise Vietnamese manufacturing industries as operating under market economy conditions.

Where necessary to carry out commitments on time, these legal documents will be developed and issued in a shortened order and procedure.
The Standing Committee of the National Assembly also recognized that the National Assembly ratified the Document at the 7th session and the possibility that all 6 members of the CPTPP will complete the ratification procedure before October 16, 2024, the Document will soon take effect (from December 16, 2024).
